sanctity of quiet

Submitted by Victorclaude on Tue, 2010-12-14 00:06

sanctity of quiet

quiet is sanctity
of one --
an insouciance

caring free
nonchalance
as grape vines
burgeon fruit

a fly buzzes farmlands --
light shines
dappled between feathers
of birds in flight

not counting quills
to stay aloft --

avian brains
balanced as no others
know

but perhaps humans
who trod thin edges
of silent way

long and narrow
the path
pitfalls each on each side

best keep eyes forward
lest distraction
gathers you with
rest of the flotsam

that tried.

Shirley,

Your sagacity is, as usual, is intact and in place.

Very good~!

I didn't think this one would get a word from anyone.

Love you,

Victor
